A separation process of carbon isotopes, 12 C (98.9%), 13 C (1.1%) and 14 C (trace), by the chemical exchange reactions between CO 2 and amine carbamate was designed by the exergy analysis technique and the applicability of the exergy analysis to the design of isotope-separation process is discussed. The exergy loss (EXL) for the single-column …
The SIS Plant will process fuel-grade plutonium into weapons-grade plutonium using Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) and supporting chemical processes. The AVLIS process uses precisely tuned visible laser light to selectively ionize or excite specific plutonium isotopes in a vapor stream. The ionized plutonium isotopes (Pu 240, Pu ...

In a method for the separation of isotopes of uranium in UF/sub 6/, the UF/sub 6/ is subjected to ir radiation at a predetermined wavelength or set of wavelengths for less than 10/sup -3/ sec in such a manner that at least 0.1% of the /sup 235/UF/sub 6/ molecules absorb an energy of more than 2000 cm/sup -1/.
The separation column, together with the mandatory refluxing system's equipment used for the 18 O isotope separation process is depicted in Fig. 1 [].In this case study, the 18 O isotope separation is obtained by means of isotopic exchange in the system made up of NO, NO 2-H 2 O and HNO 3 [].In Fig. 1, the authors have noted FSC as the Final Separation …
A number of these aerodynamic isotope separation processes depend, as does the gas centrifuge process, on pressure diffusion associated with curved streamlines for the basic separation effect. Much can be deduced about the process characteristics and the economic potential of such processes from a simple and elementary process model.
The general principles that describe the isotope separation process are the same for any single separating element or multiple elements linked together to function as a single unit, called a cascade. A detailed discussion of cascade …

Separation of deuterium from hydrogen isotope mixtures is essential for many applications such as nuclear fusion reaction [1], [2], isotopic tracing and labeling [3], [4], [5], nuclear magnetic resonance [6], neutron-scattering techniques [7], etc. Hydrogen isotope separation is one of the most challenging tasks due to the similarities in their physicochemical properties.
These methods include thermal diffusion (1957–1986), fractional absorption (1964–1968), and cryogenic distillation (1967–present). Most recently, the Thermal Cycling Absorption Process (TCAP), a metal hydride based hydrogen isotope separation system, began production in the Replacement Tritium Facility (RTF) on April 9, 1994.
Using the separation of 36 SF 6 from its multicomponent isotopic mixture SF 6 as an example, a numerical simulation method is applied to predict a non-stationary separation process occurring in a short gas centrifuge cascade, and also a …
Fig. 2 shows the amount of papers that have been published over the last 15 years on hydrogen isotope separation and the application of MOFs in this process. It is found that although the research on hydrogen isotope separation using MOFs is relatively few, the number is gradually increasing and showing good development potential.

Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same chemical element with the same number of protons and electrons but slightly different numbers of neutrons. ... The Aerodynamic Separation Process utilizes gaseous diffusion via a stationary wall centrifuge paired with proprietary flow directors to separate isotopes of varying levels of atomic mass.
Isotope separation is the process of extracting less common heavy isotopes from natural isotope mixtures, typically requiring the conversion of large raw material masses and the use …
Isotope separation is a process of element enrichment by the physical separation of isotopes in a substance. Naturally occurring elements in the earth are often found in ores or in other such …
Isotope Separation Analytical Approach to Understand Laser Isotope Separation Process of Yb-176 for Non Carrier Added (NCA) Radioisotope Lu-177 Introduction Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) has emerged as a promising short range â-emitter for targeted radiotherapy[1-2]. Demand of Lu-177 has increased many folds. Lu-177 is produced [3-5] in a
A similar process for hydrogen isotope separation has been developed and practiced by Heung et al. [11], [12]: the thermal cycling absorption process (TCAP) using a palladium-packed column where chemical sorption occurs. Separation behaviors of hydrogen isotopes are different between the chemical sorption and the physical adsorption applied here.
The laser isotope-separation process called Silex may look good to General Electric (Wilmington, NC) for enriching uranium-235 (U-235) concentration to the levels required in nuclear reactors, but it does not appear mature enough U-235 concentration to the higher levels needed for nuclear weapons, according to a team that reviewed the Silex process for the …
